LOS ANGELES – Michal Handzus scored 56 seconds into the game and again at 3:21 of overtime, leading the Kings to a come-from-behind, 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.

Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar scored their first goals of the season to help the Kings erase a two-goal deficit. Brown led the Kings with 33 goals last season, and Kopitar had 32.

In overtime, Carolina defenseman Dennis Seidenberg gave up the puck in the neutral zone and Handzus skated into the zone with it before swerving around Tim Gleason in the right circle and beating Cam Ward with a short wrist shot.

Moments earlier, Kings goalie Jason LaBarbara stacked his pads and made a clutch save against Eric Staal. The Carolina forward cruised down the slot with a pass from Ray Whitney and faked the goalie to the ice.

Defenseman Matt Greene has signed a five-year extension with the Kings through the 2013-14 season, the team said Friday.

The signing comes six days after the Kings signed center Anze Kopitar to a seven-year extension through 2015-16.

The 25-year-old Greene is in his first season with the Kings, after spending three years with Edmonton, and was named one of the Kings’ assistant captains earlier this month.

Greene, whose contract would have expired after this season, had one goal and nine assists in 78 games for Edmonton two years ago and one assist in 46 games with the Oilers last season. The 6-foot-3, 233-pounder has one goal and 12 assists in 154 career games and one assist in 18 playoff games.
